Lower bone density linked to cognitive decline
A recent study from Johns Hopkins University suggests that osteoporosis, which is often detected during CT scans conducted for chest reasons such as monitoring lung cancer or nodules, is associated with a rapid decline in cognitive abilities and changes in the white matter of the brain. The researchers used artificial intelligence technology to measure bone mineral density in the spine and found that lower density correlates with cognitive decline and an increase in white matter regions in the brain. These findings highlight the importance of assessing bone health as a key factor in monitoring the risk of mental decline. While the results indicate an association rather than a proven causal relationship, they could, in the future, help identify individuals at higher risk for early cognitive issues.
